Algeria To Move Nigeria Match To Algiers Or Blida For Financial Reasons

Federation of Algerian Football (FAF) is planning to move their final Group B match of the CAF 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria away from Chahid Hamlaoui Stadium Constantine on financial grounds, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

According to Zacchi, the expenses would have been avoided if the national team had opted for Blida, which has a national technical centre at Sidi Moussa which has accommodation facilities.

With 10 points from four matches, Nigeria require an outright win over Chipolopolo of Zambia in Uyo, to make their last game against Algeria just a formality, while a draw or win for Zambia would take the Group B contest down to the wire.
